[Updated] WB And NetherRealm Confirm Batgirl For Injustice

WB and NetherRealm have confirmed to Game Informer that Batgirl will be coming as downloadable content. We've got the first image.

[Original Story]

Multiple tips with photographic and video evidence have come in regarding future DLC for Injustice: Gods Among Us. The images and video below point to Batgirl as an upcoming character that will likely be part of the season pass offering.

The first confirmed character, Lobo, will be released on May 7, 2013. He was first shown over the weekend at C2E2.

Given that the downloads are failing, we don’t know anything else about how she’s different than the other gadget characters, and most notably Batman. When we attempted to replicate the steps in the video below, the glitch had already been corrected.

We’ve reached out to Warner Bros. Interactive for comment and will report more when new information is available.

Thanks to David for providing the images and YouTube user SFlip for capturing the footage.

WTFF Batgirl REALLY!!! What about Dr. Fate, Zatanna, Mirror Master, Captain Cold, Black Manta, General Zod, Brainiac, Darkseid, Red Tornado, Black Spider, Static, Black Canary and the many others that aren't part of Batman FOR FUC&ING CHRIS SAKE NETHERREALM THERE IS ENOUGH BATMAN CHARACTERS THIS ISN'T BATMAN GODS AMONG US IT'S INJUSTICE GODS AMONG US!!! I'M SO FUC*ING PISSED NOW!! I just hope they don't put Scorpion they need to replace him with a DC character FUC*&ING DA*MIT!!! X0!!!

Batgirl is a boring choice, I mean she is pretty much a sleeker, slightly faster batman. The only way I would be okay with this is if her moves were vastly different from Batman's. I would rather have other Batman villains, such as Talon, Ra's Al Ghoul, Red Hood, or Clayface.

Fantastic, that means the leaked list is probably true, with Zod and Scorpion being the last two of the season pass.

Zod is...whatever, I'm not a Superman guy, but Scorpion, really? Thousands of characters to choose from, thousands of people begging for Martian Manhunter, Zatanna and Black Canary, characters who could actually add something to the game, who would fit naturally into the plot and they pick Scorpion because...*** it, why not, his character model and move set are already done.

Between the horrendous balance issues, the complete clusterfuck of skin distribution and now the entirely uninspired, lazy DLC selection I'm really starting to regret buying this game.

Really want to get this game. Only sucks cause I know they will eventually make a complete edition with all these characters included on the disc, and possibly some gameplay tweaks to make the game more balanced.

Well, that helps further solidify the leaked list ( which I wasnt too surprised by). With the exception of Lobo, the rest of the further planed dlc characters are terrible choices, waste of characters spaces AND development time. The game's 24 roster already has 6 Batman themed characters....given how vast the DC universe is, not to mention ones from other franchises, that is more then enough.

Batgirl is just a weak choice, given how all the other Batman characters ( with the exception of Bane) are already gadget themed, what would she really bring to the table? If we're going to have more Batman characters, there are plenty of better choices: Poison Ivy is just begging to be in this game, Clayface would have been awesome for a character that could semi-mimic others ( think Necrid of SC2) with varying range of mid-lows. Talia or Ra's would have been nice, hell Mr. Freeze ( Arkham City based) would have been PERFECT as a multi-gadgetry style.

Zod.....One of the cult following and particularly boring Superman villains makes it into a game, where literally hundreds of other villains would have VASTLY been a better choice. How about Darkseid, one of the most memorable AND powerful foe Supes has faced with the god complex and demeanor to surpass Shao Kahn! Nah, lets leave him as a background interactable. What about Bizarro? sure he's a moronic opposite of Superman but ya gotta love his" Me am Superman". I could go on and on about qualities of the other Superman villains and WHY they are vastly superior to Zod, but ill list them for now. Metallo, Parasite, Brainiac, Mongul....*** I'll take Toyman even.

Finally...Scorpion..... this is the worst offender. I truly thought the MK team was going to stick to their guns given how they said early on that this was going to be separate of the MK games. Able to stand on it's own feet without throwing in MK teams....guess Ed Boon can't have a game without Scorpion in some way :/. I mean the dlc character list is already bogged down by weak choices and now, NOW you're going to put in Scorpion?! We already have Batman and Lobo having attacks exactly like Scorpion's spear, guess we need another right? I could rant even more about this but it's Ed Boon's constant infatuation to this character or a cheap ploy to pull in "MK fans" who btw, majority are already interested or invested in this game.

I mean the DC universe has MANY, MANY prime choices to fill in character slots. Given how MK9 only had 4 dlc characters, I'm somewhat skeptical of there being a second pass of more. But even so, Where's Martian Manhunter, Zatanna, Black Canary, Circe, Beast Boy, Starfire, Gorilla Grodd, Black Manta, Atomic Skull, Livewire, Rampage, Shade and all the other character previously mentioned????? In my opinion this was a missed opportunity unless they're trying to hold off on characters for a sequel which comes off to me as weak and a pathetic bid for more $ down the road instead of unloading the big guns on this first non...err almost non MK game.
